I heard that former mayor Don Iveson can't provide an official endorsement because of his current housing role, but apparently he's donated to Knack campaign.

$975 to Knack

It actually came out today!

Westrich broke my heart with their $10,150 donation to Cartmell's campaign ;-; I can't find the disclosures for Better Edmonton, so for all I know they could have donated another $10,150 to them as well. All for a guy who is so disingenuous that he literally claimed on CBC Radio that the city is "building a bike lane along the yelloehead with a 12-foot high concrete divider." [It's just a shared use path with a new noise wall to replace the old noise wall. And he compared it to an example of "good" active transportation development... the shared path along Terwillegar.]

Lots of other big names too - BILD Edmonton, a bunch of greenfield developers, etc.

I modeled the expenses, as a proportion of totals for the main 4, here:

If Knack wins this while spending almost nothing (comparatively), I will be highly impressed.

Richard Skermer donated $100 to Cartman's campaign!
He was in charge of the late lamented C2E.

Also surprising to see Mohammed has twice the dollars/spending as Knack.

No shouting or cursing but I expect Walters to win.

Tried to use AI to break down a full list of non-individual campaign contributors, unsurprisingly the machine that drains lakes to lie to you provided me with inaccurate nonsense. I'll manually do Cartmell's, but note that Walters has 1 organization contributor, Knack has 2, and Mohammed has 7. Cartmell has:

Dear Lord.

Elections have become pay to win. Thanks UCP

(Yes I know this has always been an issue, but they've made it inarguably worse)

I did a quick google search of some of the people donating $1000+ to Cartmell and a lot are realtors or executives within those listed companies, according to their LinkedIn profiles.

Honest question though: How do these companies realistically expect to get a return with a Cartmell mayorship? How might an Edmonton mayor repay these bri -ahem- “donations”?

I hadn't thought of that. I bet someone more thorough than I will break it down post-election.

For the ROI element, I can attest to the fact that candidates are much more likely to collaborate with PAC interests for their donors, especially if they plan on running again.

Didn't you just answer your own question? There is no actual tit for tat 'bribe'? Some people want him to win without expecting something in return and are willing to donate to do so?

Advance voting starts tomorrow and continues until Saturday. I need the advance vote since my time will be fully occupied on October 20. But I'm still on the fence when it comes to the mayoral race. Knack or Walters?
